Where did it go? What happened to this 630 TV? I saw it yesterday, 1/15/10, listed as new and selling from Amazon for $999.97. Now it only shows it available used from "Warehouse Deals" for 948.99 + 43.93 shipping. What the who huh? Where did it go?? I was set to buy it. I'm suspicious of it being more than just temporarily out of stock since there are no retailers on Amazon selling this new. Where did it go? What happened to this 630 TV?

It became available again (new) on January 19th through about the 21st or 22nd. Now it's gone again. If D. Hamann is correct, this model may not be coming back in stock. Keep an eye out for Samsung press releases announcing new models.

I see they are trickling in very slowly, but I was able to grab one thankfully. Amazing prices as always from Amazon!

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

Dagnabit! You got my TV! ;) I hope you enjoy it and post a review. In the mean time I will be RSS feeding this product page to my home page so I can snap it up as soon as it's available. It would be great if you could also post your experience with Amazon's "white glove" or "enhanced" or whatever they choose to call it - delivery service. I've been curious about the details of how that works. Thanks

I'm really hoping this comes back in the next few days. Its either get this or a 40 inch model because of the price difference is all other models. Hopefully they ship one last truck if they really are moving into a new model.

Two questions. Does anyone know how long it usually stays out of stock? Or does it just come back at random? Anyone know if there is a way i can be notified when it comes NEW back in stock? Any help would be great. Thanks.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new". One was a 32 inch TV and the other was a home theater system. Both items came packaged in original box with all documentation. They appeared totally new to me, as if they came right from the factory. You could tell by the way the set was placed in the box that it had never been removed. There were absolutely no blemishes of any kind and both items work perfectly. I saved a LOT of money. Bottom line, if it says used - like new, you are safe to assume it will be in excellent condition. Besides, if there is a problem, you have 30 days to return for a full refund. And if the item doesn't work, Amazon will pay the return shipping I think. I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new".

hot did you get that deal from US-Appliances? I am also tired of waiting for amazon to get this TV in stock. Oh well, I would rather get from Amazon. I will wait few more days and see what shall happen

One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce. Samsung probably aren't manufacturing this 2009 model any longer, and it was the most highly rated 50 inch Samsung plasma TV (most sites rated it more highly than the PN50B860) so the demand for it may be greater than for their other models. I ordered it Sunday, deciding that Amazon would most likely lower its price if its competitors did, and Amazon will refund the difference between what you paid and a lower price if you are within 30 days of the price reduction.' I figured any post super bowl reduction would come within that time period. One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce.

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

I ordered one from http://www.warehousedeals.com/ This is an Amazon site. They have two available right now. If there aren't any when she checks, just keep checking. It says they're refurbished, but it tells you exactly what's wrong with them. I think they are packages that were returned to Amazon, so they can't sell them as new. It says that one of them has minor blemishes, but the other one just talks about the box. Mine hasn't come yet, but I think it will be fine. And it was cheaper than the deal they had on here.

I found this tv at the electro world.com for 780.00 dollars new with 20.00 dollars shipping. yeah right does anyone know of this company or website? would amazon match this price to keep me as a customer?

Amazon also deleted all the other threads about promotions for this tv (except for one in october ?). Hoping I can get this TV for a good price on black friday...

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.
